Fiscal Year 2023 Wildly Important Goals [WIGs]
Annual Evaluation
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) fiscal year (FY) 2022-23 Performance Plan identified three Wildly Important Goals (WIGs): Advancing Transportation Safety, Clean Transportation, and Accountability and Transparency. CDOT’s WIGs are ambitious, short-term goals that align the Governor’s Key Priorities with the Department’s strategic priorities. Additional details on the WIGs are available in the Department’s FY 2022-23 Performance Plan, which may be accessed from the Department’s external website (Performance Plan and Reports).
Advancing Transportation Safety
1
Advance the safety of Colorado’s Transportation System so all travelers arrive safely at their destination.
Reduce the percentage of fatal and serious injury crashes by 15% monthly compared to the same month in the baseline fiscal year 2019 by June 30th, 2023.
Clean Transportation
2
Reduce pollution in our air and congestion on our roads.
Annually reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT), as well as greenhouse gas (GHG) and ozone-causing emissions from the transportation sector, from the 2019 baseline, in line with Colorado’s Greenhouse Gas Pollution Reduction Roadmap targets by June 30, 2023.
Accountability and Transparency
3
Ensure efficient use of taxpayer funds and efficient construction project delivery.
Ensure that pre-construction and construction engineering costs for CDOT’s Construction Program account for no more than 20% of total program costs in fiscal year 2023.

1 VMT per capita monthly estimates are provided by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) using past reported VMT adjusted for traffic counts reported on a monthly basis from each state (delayed 60 days), with current months estimated from CDOT traffic counts. The data is subject to change until final VMT counts are published for the state on June 15, 2023 (CY 2021 VMT) and June 15, 2024 (CY 2022 VMT).
2 CO2e, VOC, and NOx emissions are estimated using VMT estimates provided monthly from FHWA and CDOT traffic counts. The WIG targets are ambitious and are derived from the GHG Roadmap target to reduce GHG by 26% by 2025 from 2005 levels. The WIG targets were developed prior to the State GHG Rulemaking and targets may be adjusted in the future to provide closer alignment.
